This is the playset we got some friends. Thomas loves climbing the ladder and going down the slide all by himself!

Oooh- this is hard! Watch me go...
Almost there!
Look at me! I did it!

Monthly Picture Dump

Little stinker.

Even more of a stinker.

Big grins in the cold.

Reading with mommy; lots of fun as usual.

Pants are too big; fly swatter is just the right size.

Chasing a squirrel.

Picture Day

We went to Portrait Innovations today to get some pictures done since we never got his 1 Year pictures. These are the ones that we have copies of. These are all available on request.

Officially a Kaduk!

1 year to the day from the day we trudged half a mile through the mud in the middle of the Vietnamese jungle to get Thomas from the orphanage, we finalized his adoption and got his name legally changed to "Thomas Michael Linh Kaduk." The judge was great! He even gave Thomas a gift to commemorate this day. It's been obvious to us since he joined our family that he belonged with us. Now he's got the name!

Some Funny Pictures

Walking Man

Pictures, pictures, and more pictures...

Playing at the Zoo with Mai Ly

Thomas hadn't seen his friend Mai Ly since we got back from Vietnam. It didn't take them long to get re-acquainted.

Playing at the Park (revisited)

Shannon informed me that the quality of the other sliding video was substandard. So...Here you go.

Fun at the pool!

Swimming with daddy is the best!

Isn't he sweet?

This is what happens when we try to feed a tired boy!

Daddy and Thomas enjoying a bedtime story.

His first painting!
I guess trains must run in the family!

Having a blast at the Denver Children's Museum!

Climbing off the dock!
Crawling up the ramp- just so he can slide down the other side.
Introducing: the new chief in town!
Already a multi-tasker!

Thomas's First REAL Haircut

Thomas loved sitting in the firetruck turning the steering wheel and ringing the bell.
Here is the before- he looks a little scared!
And the finished product- he looks like such a little boy! (Notice the TV in the background- Thomas did not move the entire time she cut his hair!)
